[BPM: 84]
[Intro]
Mama said…
One day I’d understand.
[Verse 1]
Used to roll my eyes
Every time she’d start talking,
Thought I had the answers,
Thought I knew where I was walking.
She’d tell me, “Slow down,
Life moves fast enough.”
I wish I listened then
Maybe I wouldn’t be stuck.
I hate that I dismissed her,
Like she didn’t know,
I wish I knew better,
But that’s how life goes.
[Pre-Chorus]
Funny how the older I get,
The more her voice sounds like truth.
I thought I knew better
Then her truth.
[Chorus]
(Mama said,)
Some people come and go.
(Mama said,)
Don’t let them steal your glow.
(Mama said,)
The hard days never let go
And when your heart gets broken,
You’ll find your way.
I didn’t always listen,
But I hear her now.
(Mama said…)
I’d be alright
And somehow,
She was right.
[Verse 2]
She taught me how to stand up
When life knocked me down.
How to wear my scars with pride
(Inside and out)
Not let them pull me underground.
And every dream that I chased,
Every road I chose,
I always had her words
Following me home.
[Chorus]
(Mama said,)
Some people come and go.
(Mama said,)
Don’t let them steal your glow.
(Mama said,)
The hard days never let go
And when your heart gets broken,
You’ll find your way.
I didn’t always listen,
But I hear her now.
(Mama said…)
I’d be alright
And somehow,
She was right.
[Bridge]
When I was lost,
She saw the road.
When I was scared,
She gave me hope.
And if I ever have a daughter,
I’ll tell her the “roads never close”
[Final Chorus]
(Mama said)
Keep your head up high.
(Mama said,)
Don’t be afraid to try.
(Mama said,)
You’re stronger than you know.
Even when the world gets heavy,
Don’t let go.
I didn’t always listen,
But I hear her now.
(Mama said)
I’d be alright
And somehow
She’s always right.
[Outro]
Yeah…
Mama said.
